At some Community Colleges they teach a blues music appreciation course, this is PHD material. I am going straight to Nordstroms to get me a blues outfit.

I was the last one left on earth,
There was nothin' to live for.
Feelin sorry for myself,
I heard a knock upon my door.

...so I opened up the door and I shot the sumbitch...
...then I rolled him a carpet and I dumped him in a ditch...
...now I'm the last one left on Earth...
...nothin' left to live for...

...although this sounds more like a Sarte-erian country ballad than a blues tune..<FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Pat Burns on 29 May 2003 at 09:12 PM.]</p></FONT>

...a note about blues tunes...they aren't supposed to make you dwell on your problems until you blow your brains out...on the contrary, they are supposed to make you forget about your problems, get it off your chest and make you feel better..

...<I>they call me Hamburger Paddy, I got more beef than bun...
...they call me Hamburger Paddy, I got more beef than bun...
...the womens they be rompin' but the menfolks they just run...

...I'm their big sugar daddy, the girls know I'm the one...

" No more Blues / Dog songs being
accepted "...."Better Luck Next Time"

You need to throw your Dog across the lawn , keep the drink..

I just had to add a line by Ray Charles.

Baby when we met,
You said your life was awfull tame.
I took you to a nightclub,
And the WHOLE band knew your name.....
